Beijing has recently issued a decree that can create an atmosphere of fear about Taiwan’s supporters and people in favor of freedom. The Chinese government on Wednesday a new & lsquo; Information channel & rsquo; It has been started, in which the public has been told that if they have information about someone or group who are working in favor of Taiwan’s freedom or obstructing peace with China, then they can reach his name to Beijing. & Nbsp;
China alleges that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the ruler of Taiwan, is suppressing people and torturing them. On Wednesday, March 26, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China issued a decree while announcing that some Taiwan leaders, government officials and some influential people active on social media are acting like ‘goons’ and helping him in DPP’s crime. & Nbsp;
Chinese administration says that if any person from Taiwan is falling victim to such harassment or has any kind of information related to it, then he can report through this new channel. Beijing also assured that the identity of the people who complain will be kept secret and legal action will be taken against the culprits. However, it was not clarified what kind of punishment these accused would be given.
Taiwan’s increased anxiety
After this decree, the concern in Taiwan has increased that now Beijing will try to pressurize freedom supporters not only in Taiwan, but also abroad. Not only this, Beijing has earlier banned Taiwan’s leading traders and leaders, which he targeted on charges of ‘divisive activities’.
China says that Taiwan is part of them and they want to mix it with them under any circumstances, even if they have to use force. Despite this, Taiwan considers himself an independent nation and in recent months Taiwan President William Lai Ching-Tee opposes China’s policies called it ‘foreign enemy strength’.
This new step of China can become a challenge for the Taiwan government, because many citizens and influencers of Taiwan openly talk about freedom and democracy by criticizing China. In such a situation, this decree of Beijing shows a new way to suppress disagreement and opposition in Taiwan.
It is clear that the purpose of China is not just to pressurize Taiwan, but also to scare people in the whole world who talk of Taiwan’s freedom. It remains to be seen what steps Taiwan and the rest of the countries take against the decree of this China and will this controversy increase.
